Switch Setup
4.5Rack-Mounting an SFCS-200WG
The SFCS-200WG is designed to be installed either as a stand-alone unit placed on the desktop, or as a rack-mounted unit using the optional rack- mount kit (refer to section 4.2.1), which may be purchased separately. The fol- lowing items should be addressed when rack-mounting this switch:
WARNING! When rack-mounting equipment, make sure that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven weight distribution.
CAUTION Cabletron Systems recommends that the max- imum operating temperature not exceed 40˚C.
Consideration must be made if the switch is to be installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, because the ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature.
CAUTION
4.5.1Required Tools
Take care not to block the air vents of the switch, as this would compromise the amount of air flow required for proper cooling.
A set of rack-mount brackets, a cable relief strain rail, and 6 Phillips-head screws can be purchased separately for rack-mounting the SFCS-200WG. You will also need to supply a Phillips screwdriver.
WARNING! To prevent user injury and possible damage to equipment, Cabletron Systems recommends 
that at least two people be present when rack-
mounting the SFCS-200WG.
